February 2017

Hello guys, I really hope your week has been going on great! I’ve been so excited lately and I can’t even tell why. But I’m also excited because it’s the end of February and the blog will turn a year old in March.

From the first day you start your job, colleagues start looking out for behaviours, qualities, and possible patterns.

Quite frankly, from the interview you had before you got the job, your interviewer most likely looked out for traits to know if you were the right fit. If your behaviours matched that of the company culture at that preliminary stage, it may become one of the factors that determine if you would be selected or not.

Many workers struggle with finding the right balance between work and their personal life. Do you also struggle with this?

How can we find happiness at work or in our personal lives if we don’t put in the effort?

Many of us focus way too much on work and forget about our personal lives, families, or friends. Some other people do the exact opposite, focusing more on their personal lives and forgetting to spend quality time on their jobs. This could create negative long lasting consequences in either case.

It sounds explanatory anyway, but if you haven’t heard of it before, that’s totally fine. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I also became more familiar with the term. Then I also took some classes in this aspect during my post-grad.

So many people lack emotional intelligence and may not even be aware of it. So I thought it was a good idea to share here on the blog because it’s a must-have life skill.

When I created the relaxation category, what I had in mind was to create a space where we could discuss non-work related stuff and find ways to ease the stress in our personal lives.

It was to be some sort of place for us to gist whilst learning one or two things. Just to have a relaxed space on the blog, you know? We have to let our hair down every once in a while, or what do you think?
